In enzymology, a biotin—[acetyl-CoA-carboxylase] ligase (EC 6.3.4.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

ATP + biotin + apo-[acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming)] [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] AMP + diphosphate + [acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming)]

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, biotin, and apo-[acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming)], whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming).

This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming generic carbon-nitrogen bonds.

This enzyme participates in biotin metabolism. This protein may use the morpheein model of allosteric regulation.[1]

Nomenclature

The systematic name of this enzyme class is biotin:apo-[acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming)] ligase (AMP-forming). Other names in common use include:

  • biotin-[acetyl-CoA carboxylase] synthetase,
  • biotin-[acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase] synthetase,
  • acetyl coenzyme A holocarboxylase synthetase,
  • acetyl CoA holocarboxylase synthetase,
  • biotin:apocarboxylase ligase,
  • biotin holoenzyme synthetase,
  • and HCS.
